How it Happened

• Saint Peter's fell behind the eightball early, giving up six runs in the game's opening inning.

• St. John's added two more runs in the second, extending its lead over Saint Peter's to 8-1.
• The score remained the same through three innings, but the Red Storm then scored at least two runs in every inning over the final five innings to close the game.   

 
Inside the Numbers

• Offensively, the Peacocks made two hits. One coming from Vitiello and the other by Trent Koerner.
• Right-handed Jean Candelaria (0-2) received the decision.

 
Coach's Quotes – Lou Proietti
